SUMMARY:Brain-wide association studies: Current challenges and future directions by Dr Scott Marek & Dr Brenden Tervo-Clemmens
DESCRIPTION:To join the talk\, follow this link.\n \n \nAbout the speakers \nDr Tervo-Clemmens is a postdoctoral fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School. His research focuses on understanding the emergence of psychopathology and substance use during adolescence and uses techniques from cognitive neuroscience\, developmental psychopathology research\, and data science. He is also engaged in methodological research aiming to evaluate and improve the reproducibility and ultimately\, clinical utility\, of large-scale fMRI research in neurodevelopmental studies. His work is supported by a Massachusetts General Hospital and National Institute on Drug Abuse Career Development Award and an early career award from the American Psychological Foundation. \nDr Marek is an Instructor in the Psychiatry Department at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. His research focuses on pediatric neuroimaging\, precision functional imaging of individual brains\, and best practices for reproducible research. Dr Marek leverages very large sample size datasets to understand population-level links between the brain and non-brain factors\, as well as small sample size datasets with deep phenotyping to understand what makes a brain unique.  His work is supported by the National Institute of Mental Health. \nAbout the talk \nMental health research and care have yet to realize substantive advances from Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)\, despite wide-spread and increasing use MRI and functional MRI in translational neuroscience. A primary challenge to such translational insights has been replicating associations between inter-individual differences in brain structure or function and complex cognitive or mental health phenotypes (brain-wide association studies (BWAS)). We will discuss our recent work demonstrating that a historical reliance on small sample sizes in neuroimaging can parsimoniously explain such BWAS replication failures across common\, cross-sectional brain-phenotype linkage methods. Within the context of these results\, additional discussion will focus on considerations and priorities for future BWAS and non-BWAS approaches to translational brain-behavior linkages. \nTo join the talk\, follow this link.

SUMMARY:Species agnostic tools for translational MRI processing by Dr Eilidh MacNicol
DESCRIPTION:To join the talk\, follow this link. \n \nAbout the speaker \nEilidh studied neuroscience at the University of Glasgow before coming to study neuroimaging at King’s College London. Her PhD research used MRI to investigate how brain networks change in healthy ageing. During this time\, she became interested in extending processing tools developed for human data to be species agnostic\, and supporting open science and reproducibility in the preclinical MRI community. In her current role as a postdoctoral researcher\, she continues to apply network-based analysis methods to MRI data with the aim of modelling brain changes over time. You can find out more about Eilidh on Twitter and her website. \nAbout the talk \nMany tools that prepare neuroimaging data for analysis assume the input data are from adult humans and rely on assumptions that are not appropriate for other populations (e.g.\, human babies or non-human subjects). Researchers working with these populations make ad hoc adaptions to make their data compatible\, but these choices may impact outcomes. These choices diverge workflows based on species\, reducing MRI’s translational appeal\, and raise concerns for reproducibility between groups. fMRIPrep and MRIQC are standardised workflows for transparent processing of human neuroimaging data. This talk will describe how these tools are being extended to include non-human data and why making our workflows species-agnostic can benefit everyone. \nTo join the talk\, follow this link.

SUMMARY:Open music research between art and science by Dr Alexander Refsum Jensenius
DESCRIPTION:To join the talk\, follow this link.\n \n \nAbout the speaker \nAlexander Refsum Jensenius is Professor of music technology at the University of Oslo and Director of the RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm\, Time and Motion. His research focuses on why music makes us move\, which he explores through empirical studies using different motion-sensing technologies. He also uses analytical knowledge and tools to create new music with both traditional and very untraditional instruments. These are presented in his upcoming book Sound Actions: Conceptualizing Musical Instruments (MIT Press\, 2022). \nAbout the talk \nMany music researchers are turning towards studying music performance and perception in real-world settings. Collecting data in a concert situation is non-trivial\, and FAIRifying the data is even more challenging. In this talk\, I will discuss some challenges with handling privacy and copyright matters in music research. I will also discuss some benefits of working towards more open music research. \nTo join the talk\, follow this link.

SUMMARY:Accelerating the uptake of high quality open research practices by Dr Neil Jacobs
DESCRIPTION:To register for the event\, follow this link.  \n \nAbout the speaker \nNeil Jacobs gained his PhD in information science from Loughborough in 2000\, then joined the team running the ESRC’s then projects and outcomes database. In 2005 he joined the national education and research digital infrastructure agency Jisc\, leading national programmes and services in open science\, and ending up in 2019 as lead for Jisc’s strategy to support research. During that time he spent a year on secondment to the UK Government as co-head of open science and was also programme manager for the international Plan S Open Access funder alliance. From 2020-2022 he was a leading member of UKRI’s strategy team on research culture and integrity\, before joining UKRN in 2022 as head of the UKRN open research programme. \nAbout the talk \nNeil Jacobs will outline the aims and main activities in the five-year UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN) open research programme\, which runs until 2026. It aims to accelerate the uptake of high-quality open research practices. The programme has three main strands\, on evaluation\, on training\, and on sharing and improving institutional policies and practices\, including on recruitment and promotion of researchers. Neil will set out those strands\, the wider sector context in which they sit\, the work that’s been done so far\, what’s next\, and some potential opportunities to get involved. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion. \nTo register for the event\, follow this link.

SUMMARY:Trends in self-citation rates in neuroscience literature by Prof Dustin Scheinost & Matt Rosenblatt
DESCRIPTION:To join\, follow this link.\n \n \nAbout the speakers\n \nDustin Scheinost earned his PhD in biomedical engineering from Yale University and is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging at Yale School of Medicine\, where he leads the Multimodal Imaging\, Neuroinformatics\, and Data Science (MINDS) Lab. Dustin’s research interests include functional connectivity\, predictive modeling\, software development (BioImage Suite)\, and fetal-infant fMRI. In addition\, Dustin is a founding member of the Fetal\, Infant\, & Toddler Neuroimaging Group (FIT’NG). \nMatt Rosenblatt received his BS in bioengineering from the University of Pittsburgh\, and he is currently a biomedical engineering graduate student in the Multimodal Imaging\, Neuroinformatics\, and Data Science (MINDS) Lab at Yale University. Matt’s main research focus is evaluating and improving the trustworthiness of machine learning for neuroimaging. \nAbout the talk \nIn this talk\, we will summarize our recent bioRxiv preprint “Trends in self-citation rates in neuroscience literature”. Since the downstream effects of self-citations include increased visibility and citations from others\, it is crucial to establish baseline self-citation rates in neuroscience literature. We will not only discuss baseline self-citation rates\, but also differences in self-citation by year\, seniority\, country\, and gender. Finally\, we will highlight a Python tool where authors can evaluate their own self-citation rates. \nTo join\, follow this link.

SUMMARY:Crowdsourcing research questions in science by Dr Susanne Beck
DESCRIPTION:To join\, follow this link.  \n \nAbout the speaker  \nCheck out the speaker’s bio here. \nAbout the talk \nScientists are increasingly crossing the boundaries of the professional system by involving the general public (the crowd) directly in their research. However\, this crowd involvement tends to be confined to empirical work and it is not clear whether and how crowds can also be involved in conceptual stages such as formulating the questions that research is trying to address. Drawing on five different “paradigms” of crowdsourcing and related mechanisms\, we first discuss potential merits of involving crowds in the formulation of research questions (RQs). We then analyze data from two crowdsourcing projects in the medical sciences to describe key features of RQs generated by crowd members and compare the quality of crowd contributions to that of RQs generated in the conventional scientific process. \nTo join\, follow this link.

SUMMARY:Supervisors' role modeling of responsible research practices by Dr Tamarinde Haven
DESCRIPTION:To join\, follow this link.\n \n \nAbout the speaker \nTamarinde Haven has a background in psychology\, philosophy\, and epidemiology. She defended her PhD thesis in 2021 at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam focusing on the role of the research climate in fostering or undermining research integrity. In her time as a postdoc at the BIH QUEST Center for Responsible Research\, she investigated role modelling of Open Science practices among biomedical supervisors. Currently\, Tamarinde works at Aarhus University on a Rubicon funded project to develop a measurement instrument for responsible supervision. \nAbout the talk \nSupervision is one important way to socialize PhD candidates into responsible research. We hypothesized that one should be more likely to identify responsible research practices (here publishing open access and sharing data) in empirical publications that were part of a PhD thesis when the PhD candidate’s supervisors engaged in these responsible research practices compared to PhD candidate’s supervisors who did not or rarely did. \nTo join\, follow this link.
